Propolis Tincture

Propolis is nature’s antiseptic marvel. It is renowned for its strong anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties, and has been used to support immune health for thousands of years. Ancient medicine also used it for healing cuts and as a natural antioxidant.

Propolis is a natural honeybee product made from antimicrobial plant resins collected by honeybees. Bees use propolis inside the hive to coat surfaces, seal small gaps, and help maintain stable internal conditions. It is one of the most fascinating and complex honeybee products — brimming with plant compounds, resins, balms, waxes, and naturally occurring aromatic substances.

Why choose a tincture?

Raw propolis is intensely resinous and sticky, which makes it difficult to take in its pure form. A tincture is a practical way to use propolis in small amounts, with a consistent strength and easy dosing. Our Propolis Tincture is responsibly harvested and extracted in food-grade ethanol to produce a concentrated liquid that can be taken by drops.

Propolis naturally contains antioxidant compounds such as flavonoids, naturally occurring plant polyphenols. The propolis used for this tincture contains at least 6% total flavonoids.
